Since October 1, 2026, a new system, the "Guichet unique de la haie" (Hedge Single Window), simplifies administrative procedures for all projects concerning hedges and tree alignments.

This new service is intended for farmers, individuals, professionals, and local authorities wishing to undertake work on hedges or tree alignments. Its aim is to centralize and facilitate administrative procedures.
The Single Window offers several features to support users: an anonymous simulator to check applicable rules, a single point of contact for interacting with the administration and tracking applications, requirements proportionate to project stakes, a fully dematerialized application process, and a coordinated response from government departments.
For more information or to submit an application, visit the website haie.beta.gouv.fr. For any questions, you can contact the service by email at contact@haie.beta.gouv.fr or by phone at 07 56 89 85 11.
